Optional Modules

VERSO integration with SHAREit resource sharing (interlibrary loan)

Many statewide and region-wide library systems use Auto-Graphics’ SHAREit as their resource sharing or interlibrary loan (ILL) system. VERSO and SHAREit are seamlessly integrated using Circulation Interlibrary Loan Link (CILL), which allows patrons to be automatically authenticated to initiate their own ILL requests, freeing library staff from having to perform time-consuming ILL functions. CILL uses NCIP-compliant processes to allow direct interconnectivity between SHAREit and VERSO

Unique in the industry, as part of the AGent Software Platform, this direct interconnectivity enables SHAREit and VERSO to automatically place and fulfill incoming requests that are received from other libraries. If your patrons place requests for materials you don’t own, the VERSO CILL functionality handles the process of placing interlibrary loan requests, reducing clicks and saving staff time. VERSO’s use of NCIP-compliant processes minimizes the number of steps needed to borrow and lend materials, using ILL statuses to trigger appropriate VERSO circulation tasks automatically.

States and consortia using the powerful and unique SHAREit/VERSO CILL combination to power their libraries enjoy:
